Dear sirs
I am new to this Forum, and dutch so forgive me my bad spelling
Two years ago I bought a Krag Jorgenson caliber 6,5x55.
I needed two years of practice and trying to find the best load for the ammo. I am glad to say that I may have found heaven.
What a fantastic gun.
Here comes the problem: I live in Holland, we have very strickt regulations for owning a gun. We can only use it for sport-shooting.
The kind of sport-shooting this Krag can be used for is called here Veterans Rifle in Germany they call it Ordonanz-Waffen. We can only use rifles that were manufactured before 1950 and used in a Army in any part of the world. Well Norway was involved in WWII, thats my luck.
The rifle I own has a date on the chamber: 1922, the riffle number is 151157, and the bolt number is 397.
I can't find what category this rifle is. Is it a sniper? is it assembeld forom different parts by some norwegian guy who had to parts on a shelff. What I need to know is it a Military rilfe. The price I paid was 100 Norwegian Crowns that is 12.50 Euro in dollars it is 16 dollars and 90 cents. Not a bad trade, but if I can't use it for sportshooting the gun is worth nothing. I attached a foto, more detailed foto's will follow.
Hope you can help me. If it is a sniper rifle, I am the luckyest woman in the world, because that is allowed for sport-shooting here, if not (*&%)
Best greeting E.M. Betting, Assen Holland
